Hughes Lab
Islet Cilia Research
What’s new:



Our Lab
The Hughes lab at Washington University studies the primary cilium, a cellular antenna that organizes sensory and signaling function. We seek to understand how cilia actions in the pancreatic islet contribute to glucose and metabolic homeostasis.
In this lab we believe in:
- scientific integrity
- work-life balance
- supporting each other
- good food
- the Oxford comma
